Race comment

Raced wide early when 0.6m 2nd (Sr) Wainui Creek NZ Addington 2600m the GROUP1 NZ Standardbred Breeders (grp1) Feb 14 then raced wide late when 1.2m 2nd $8.50 (Fr6) Our Princess Tiffany NZ Menangle 1609m the MS-GP2 Robin Dundee Stakes (grp2) Feb 22. Raced wide late last start but ran a close 2nd at this track; Group 1 placegetter in NZ prior and not out of t.

Race comment

Used the sprint lane when 0.4m 2nd $5.60 (Sr1) Belle Of Montana NZ Tabcorp Park 1720m the MS-GP1 Ladyship Cup (grp1) Feb 1 then eased early when 4.5m 3rd $2.00 (Fr9) Hows The Memory Menangle 1609m the GROUP2 Garrards Sibelia Stakes (grp2) Feb 15. Racing consistently and up to this grade; solid each way hope.

Race comment

Gave ground on the home turn when 11.5m 11th (Sr) Wainui Creek NZ Addington 2600m the GROUP1 NZ Standardbred Breeders (grp1) Feb 14 then was a handy winner $2.20 (Fr9) over Bettors Heart NZ 1.2m Menangle 1609m the MS-GP2 Robin Dundee Stakes (grp2) Feb 22. Last start winner in similar type of race and undefeated from 4 starts at this track; drawn suitably and a leading contender again.

Race comment

Fought on very well when 1.5m 2nd (Sr) Star Galleria NZ Alexandra Park 2200m (1:57.2) R78107 race Jan 17 then won $1.20 (Fr1) narrowly over Bettor Enforce NZ 0.4m Tabcorp Park 1720m the MS-GP1 Ladyship Cup (grp1) Feb 1. Narrow winner last start in similar company and drawn to get a soft run; could repeat.
